THAT GUY

THAT GUY

A Poem by afra

It was a perfect Monday evening
Perfect until and that guy came out of nowhere 
And aimed his gun at me
He pulled the trigger and the bullet hit my knee
He smiled as I screamed with pain
I never wanted to die in vain
My white pants turned into red
And then he smiled and aimed his gun on my head 
The whole 14 years flashed before my eyes
Is this the end, am I really going to die
Tears started streaming down my face whenever I saw his gun
My life was going to end before it really begun
I was the one who used to wish to die
Now when he is killing me, why is it making me cry?
I closed my eyes as he was pulling the trigger again
Then I heard the gun short and the loud noise damaged each cell of my brain
As soon as I opened my eyes I saw him dead on the ground
He was shot by one of the officers standing around
Whenever I think of him I end up on screams
That guy still haunts me in my dreams

This is an interesting piece, with some great imagination to it. It does need some serious editing though (corrections on right in CAPS).
"Perfect until and guy" do you mean: Perfect until THAT guy
"My white pant turned into red" do you mean: my white PANTS turned red -> (into is unneeded)
"aimed his gun on my head " do you mean: aimed his gun AT my head
"going to die" do you mean: going to die? -> question mark
this sentence is a bit long: "Then I heard the gun short and the loud noise damaged each cell of my brain" how about separating them into two?:
Then I heard the gun SHOT
and the loud noise damaged each cell of my brain
"the offices standing" do you mean: the OFFICERS standing
there are a few others, so please look out for them. Grr I hate grammar. Anyway, good job on this - I enjoyed it!

Really nice imagery. Great write

Ok, I have to make you a question:
Is this based on a real story?
If it is I can't help but wish you forget it as soon as possible, it's a very traumatic experiece, but don't let it take control of you !
I was caught by the verses where you say you wished that and now you're so scared, it's very interesting, we all have our own "monsters" to deal with, we sometimes wish something we'd definitely hate if it happens, we just don't know it yet.

really interesting, it's really different of some other things you wrote...umm, i wouldn't know how to help you fix this, but the two first lines don't go right for some reason. and i think the "and" in the second line isn't supposed to be there. really interesting...

I didn't expect this lol, I never read a piece about being shot and saved. I like it!

man this was a interesting work but I think it would be better if it was in a told in a story format instead of a poem. just my opinion. great job :D

Fix some words and punctuation, re-reading the poem perhaps. Besides that, terrifying emotional story you have placed in this poem, good write.

I can imagine the writer being in Colorado, at the movie theater. This reads realistically. eeooping covered all my grammar critiques.
